The "Green” in Green October represents the diversity of the Nigerian (Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc) people, their land, cultures and traditions.” Subsequently, “October” is relevant to the project title because it was (1) the month Nigeria had her independence (October 1960) from British colonial rule, (2) it was the month when Pauline I. Nwozo, (Harrison Nwozo’s mother) succumbed to ovarian cancer, (October 1996). Finally, it symbolizes a new and positive perception of the nation to the international community. “October” is an autumn month when old leaves pass away and fall to make room for new leaves to grow and thrive. “Green October therefore is the re-branding of Nigeria through its music, presenting a new and fresh perspective and conversation of the country to the Western World and international community” said Harrison.
